Scott Woody is Co-Founder and CEO of Metronome, the leading usage-based billing platform empowering SaaS companies to model flexible pricing strategies, iterate rapidly without engineering bottlenecks, and turn billing into a growth engine amid 2026's shift from seats to consumption models. With prior stints as CTO at Metronome since 2019 and Director of Engineering at Dropbox where he scaled core infrastructure for 12 million+ users, Scott brings hands-on builder credentials from co-founding Foundry Hiring—an ultra-simple ATS that handled full-stack from marketing to code. A Stanford grad whose computational biology research spanned protein folding simulations, DNA mutations, and motor protein assays, he bridges academic modeling rigor with enterprise software at scale, having engineered Dropbox's evolution from startup to public giant before tackling SaaS monetization's biggest pain point.Topics
